You might even be hearing voice's in your head.
And the voices narrate what you are doing. For example you come to a set of two doors and you choose to go through the one on the left.
That sounds like a stressful situation, I think I'll just hang out in the broom closet.
Did you get the broom closet ending? The broom close ending was my favorite!
I find this concerning
or maybe telling you to enter through the door that says new content "ooo! New content! What does that mean, new content?"
You see this button here, when you click it, will say your name.
It's still in beta phase You have to believe that you're Jim before pushing it

I played this game and I don't understand it, what is the point ? honestly the performance of the narrator was amazing and was my favourite part of the game but otherwise I don't understand what the "message" is.
spoiler
and like, who is stanley ? who is the narrator ? how come stanley can hear narrator's voice ? if stanley is in a game and we are playing that game, then narrator should be in the game too, somehow he is in the game and not in the game at the same time ??
If you're asking all these questions, you're trying too hard to "get" the game.
It's kind of a humor game, kind of a satirical take on how games in general just kind of expect you to follow along but in SP you can do all kind of "not what we're here for" shit like sitting in a closet for twenty minutes. Is it riveting gameplay? Not usually, but it was worth the $5 I paid for it. I certainly have gotten more than $5 of entertainment out of it.
Totally understand if that kind of game isn't everyone's cup of tea. I certainly wouldn't have played it in highschool. Or at least I'd be bored with it very quickly.
And with all the different paths in the game, replay is okay because you probably don't remember all of them.
oh I didn't mean that I didn't enjoy it, I enjoyed it quite a lot it was a fun game and definitely worth playing. it's just that I felt like the game was trying to tell me something but I couldn't understand what. but I guess you're right
If there's some deeper hidden meaning, I haven't found one. I never really felt like it was trying to tell me anything except maybe "don't take games too seriously"
i think the point of it is that theres no point
It's a fourth-wall breaking game, a game whose characters are aware that they're in a game. Their personalities, knowledge, and awareness change throughout the game and the consistency is limited to "pathes" that you take. The devs are playing with and making fun of the rules.
I don't know, the narrator tries too hard and is generally unfunny.
Now you’re stuck in the backrooms. The lights turn off. You hear a loud growl.
"Wait, why did the lights go off? Stanley... did you touch anything? This isn't how the story work!"
I am sorry, but could someone please explain this to me? Looks like an old office with old monitors, but is the joke more than just "times have changed"?
It's from the game Stanley's Parable.
Thank you.
Bruh you're the only one who got it here Many other got it in reddit
What do you mean?
I went through all the endings in under two hours and spent the rest of the afternoon in intense terror about the idea of eternal life and the possibility of eternal suffering..
Probably not what the author intended, but I'm not playing it again.
but I'm not playing it again.
For five years, so you get the achievement right?
Good to know hahahh i might
They went to the weed room. To smoke weed. I should go too..
Don't wait for the Langoliers to appear!
Not realistic at all. You'd never see two sets of innies in the same room like this
Wait, this is a game?
The Stanley Parable, really good. It‘s not The Backrooms, if you thought it‘s that.
Thanks!
No, walking simulator.
The closet was my favorite
